Skill: temporal-serverless

Overview

This skill helps users deploy and operate Temporal Workers on serverless compute. Instead of a long-lived process, Temporal invokes the Worker on demand through the Worker Controller Instance (WCI); the Worker processes available Tasks and shuts down, scaling to zero when idle. The skill produces Worker code, deployment configuration, connection configs, and packaging steps for the chosen SDK, and walks users through troubleshooting when serverless Workers aren't picking up Tasks.

Supported compute providers

Cloud provider	Compute service	Support	Reference directory
AWS	Lambda	Supported — Public Preview, open to all Temporal Cloud customers	`references/aws-lambda/`
GCP	Cloud Run	Not supported	—

Only a provider marked Supported is covered. If a request names another, say it is not supported and stop; do not adapt a supported provider's material to it. Never let the provider be an unstated assumption: when the request does not name one, it is confirmed in the step 1 questions, not silently defaulted.

Every supported provider's directory carries the same layout — setup.md, iam.md, versioning.md, diagnostics.md, observability.md, self-hosted.md. Paths below are written references/<provider>/…; substitute the directory from the table. Provider-specific commands, templates, permissions, and defaults live there — this file stays at the workflow level. When a step needs concrete commands, go to the reference file named at the end of that step.

Public Preview is not GA. The APIs are still evolving and may change: pin SDK and CLI versions for anything long-lived, and read the installed package's actual API surface rather than writing from memory.
